The year is 1962 and after 30 plus years of AP Polls the 1962 season would feature the first ever Bowl game between the #1 and #2 team. There would be a lot of chaos and upsets to get there but at the end of the season and the bowl games there would be a definitive College Football National Champion. Find out how it happened and more about the 1962 season inside.
Michigan State joined the Big 10 in 1950. They were unable to schedule enough conference games to win it and got the Rose Bowl until 1953. They didn't join "just before the 1960's".
Wisconsin ran a minute short of completing the greatest bowl comeback ever. Most people there swear that with one more minute, they’d have won.
Lot of great history/coverage here in this video. Extremely well done sir!
cool video thank you !!
Wisconsin fan here. I think you explain the best you can to people who only know the modern BCS or now playoff system. My whole childhood I was a bit ignorant and thought if Wisconsin had won the Rose Bowl they would have won the national championship, but as you point out, that is not the case. USC was guaranteed the national championship regardless of the outcome of the Rose Bowl.
Just to clarify: the AP poll went after the bowl games in 1965 season. Then, for some reason, they reverted to selecting the champion at the end of the regular season for the 1966 and '67 season. For the 1968 season, they decided to wait for the bowl games to select their champion. The UPI waiting until '74 season to do that.
Hey, Rice was in the sugar bowl in 61 against ole miss. Anyway this is fantastic
Great🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So I was looking through your programs of How The Year Was Won on RUclips and I noticed there isn't one on 1961. There is one on 1960 and 1962. Was 1961 not posted?
Great video, but you kind of made it sound like the polls determined who went to the Rose Bowl for a 1 vs 2 matchup. In reality, the Big Ten and PAC-8 (as it was known then) already had created the contract that put their champions in the game exclusively.
How about the 1983-84 College Football season also 1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94, and 1997-98 College Football season.
Can you do West Texas A&M?
I vote your Robo-Porn music as the Most Noxious Music of ANY YT video. Congrats!! We don't need a bowl game to decide that. Find something else or lose the music altogether
1962 Ole Ms. were screwed
